How do I view Rails audit records in my Rails console?

I’m using Rails 4.2.10 and the audited gem, defined in my Gemfile like so …

gem "audited-activerecord", "~> 4.0"

I have it activated in my models like so

class MyObject < ActiveRecord::Base
…
  audited

In the Rails console, how do I view specific Audit objects? I tried this in my console …

> Audit.all
NameError: uninitialized constant Audit
    from (irb):2
    from /usr/share/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.5@cfs-web/gems/railties-4.2.10/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:110:in `start'
    from /usr/share/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.5@cfs-web/gems/railties-4.2.10/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:9:in `start'
    from /usr/share/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.5@cfs-web/gems/railties-4.2.10/lib/rails/commands/commands_tasks.rb:68:in `console'
    from /usr/share/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.5@cfs-web/gems/railties-4.2.10/lib/rails/commands/commands_tasks.rb:39:in `run_command!'
    from /usr/share/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.5@cfs-web/gems/railties-4.2.10/lib/rails/commands.rb:17:in `<top (required)>'
    from bin/rails:4:in `require'
    from bin/rails:4:in `<main>'

But get the above errors.

It didn't cross my mind to actually query the audits table and I had to look at the source code to see how to do it.

Generally this should work across versions:

Audited.audit_class.count # => 9999

With audited > 4.2.2, Audit got namespaced under Audited and it inherits from ActiveRecord::Base, here is the source code.

Audited::Audit.count # => 99999
